The
rain was pouring and it seemed to fit perfectly with her mood! She
pulled into her driveway and mounted the stairs as fast as she could
she opened the door and exhaled heavily. She felt the tears burn at
her eyes and she just let them fall. Placing her gun and badge on the
table she walked to her room. "Oh my Gosh I miss him!" she
screamed in her empty apartment.
She wasn't the type to cry but
she had to in all of three months they hadn't spoken and she was
missing him more than every, at times she found it hard to breathe
and tonight was just one of those night!
"Elliot are you
sure you are well enough to travel?" John asked as he stood beside
Cragen at the airport waiting for them to say goodbye.
"John I
have to" Elliot said honestly, Living without her wasn't an
option he had to get her back by any mean necessary.
"Well good
luck man" John said and gave him a brotherly hug and away he walked
for the love of his live.
It was four in the morning when
Olivia was awoken by a persistent knocking on her door. Groaning she
got pick up her gun and unlocked the door.
She froze! It must be a
dream because he was there,
"Liv" Her name was as a caress
riding on his lips she closed her eyes the reopened them and he was
still there.
"El" she replied "What re you doing here?"
"I-I
had to see you" he replied, gazing on her. She was more beautiful
than he remembered.
Olivia felt her heart move at those words
tears found her eyes and she wanted to be his again.
"El why
now?" she asked and shivered, Blinking wildly so the tears wouldn't
fall.
"Can I come in?" he asked, slowly she stepped out of his
way an he entered her apartment.
"I came because another day
from would have been the death of me" Elliot said softly reaching
for her hand.
"Elliot I can't do this again, I really can't"
Olivia replied taking back her hand to wrap it around herself.
"But
Liv I can't live with-out you" he confessed.
"Elliot please
stop, please-"
"No I won't damn it woman I love you there is
no living with out you can't you understand that?" Elliot
answered heatedly
"And what am supposed to just run into your
arms and pretend that nothing happened?" Olivia asked her heart
racing and her head spinning but now the tears were falling!
With
a gentle finger tip wiped the tears away and hugged her tightly as
she fell into his arms. The tears burned his eyes to see her cry when
he knew he was the cause but he hoped with all his might, that this
was truly the turning point in their lives. The tears subsided slowly
and they sat in silence staring at the floor none of them prepared to
take the leap for one more chance. Elliot cleared his throat in the
quiet room and it echoed loudly, and Olivia gave him a shy
smile.
"Olivia, I really am sorry, but I can't go on without
you. It's just too hard I really need you" Elliot said taking her
hand.
Olivia sighed and she stood wrapping her hands around
herself walking to the window to look at the rain that was still
pouring.
"I don't know what to say Elliot," she paused
drawing little circles on the window pane.
"Tell me we can work
it out, tell me you love me" Elliot said walking up behind her to
rest his hands on her shoulders.
"I do love you El, but what if
we can't?" she asked turning to face him with tears running down
her face.
"Yes we can" Elliot said with conviction.
"What
about Mariah and Kathy and the kids and your job?" Olivia asked
looking into the blue depths of his eyes.
"Mariah is married,
Kathy is engaged and the kids love you" Elliot said pulling her to
him sensing that she was breaking.
"But El what if we can't?"
she asked again knowing that if they failed this time it would be the
end of her. Could she really risk that for one man?
"Then Liv
we will know with all certainty that we weren't meant to be but I
believe we are Liv, you see this past couple months I've been going
crazy, I missed the smell of you hair, your warm smile those
beautiful eyes, and you. I missed you Liv all of you from your head
to your toe I have missed you, I love you too much to let you just
walk away."
Olivia swallowed knowing that somewhere between
opening the door and seeing his face and his admission of his love
for her she fell in love with him all over again.
"Maybe we can
give our love One Last Chance. And I do love you"
And
they Lived Happily Ever After
The End
So what do you
think?
ALI
